Richmond Hill Middle School

Public Grades 6-8

Summary

Richmond Hill K-8 is an elementary school located in Augusta, Georgia, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,159 students. The school is part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 177 out of 206 districts in Georgia and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Richmond Hill K-8 consistently performs significantly below the Richmond County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies are all below 15%, while the state averages range from 28.8% to 47%. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Georgia, consistently ranking in the bottom 1% of schools statewide over the past several years. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with rates consistently above 97% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the nearby schools in the Richmond County district, such as Gracewood Elementary and Tobacco Road Elementary, also generally perform poorly, they tend to outperform Richmond Hill K-8 on standardized test scores. The relatively high student-teacher ratio at Richmond Hill K-8, compared to nearby schools, may suggest that the school is not receiving adequate resources or staffing to support its student population effectively.
